Hello Commanders,
It's been a hard ride, we made updates almost every day on the Demo during the next fest and we hope now the demo is in a good state that is better reflects the final game.
NEWS FROM BEHIND THE COURTAIN
Now, we need to make a lot of critical decisions regarding our dev studio.
What does that mean? Well, next month we will reach the end of our funding and through this demo, we needed to understand if it's worth going through with this by using our personal economies or if we need to find a job and move away from game dev.
The amount of feedback we got so far was very precious and highly appreciated, also the fact that we managed to be in the top 10 charts on "Action RTS" and "Real Time Tactics" during the Steam Next Fest helped a lot.
TODAY'S UPDATE
- MAP FIX: pharmacy map fix, we made a small adjustment in order to fit the engineer turret
- GLITCH FIX zombie medic when their legs are gone will have a weird sprite
- TYPO FIX replace the word "Precizzion" with "Precision" from the stats panel
- SOUND GLITCH FIX: if one unit dies during action the sound effect kept on playing
- GLITCH: some tooltips from some looting objects were displaying the wrong icon
- BUG FIX: we fixed the command room glitch where you could select a choice before it arrives
- some other minor bugs
- some other minor typos
WHAT IS NEXT
By the end of this month, we need to:
- polish units portraits to be more simpler like the rest of the characters from the command room in order to keep all styles consistent
- we need to make all tooltips for crafting objects
- test all crafting objects/equipment on mechanic/balance/visual
- balance the XP system
- test new XP system
- add sound effect when the wave is coming(wave ETA finished)
- add sound effects when the noise meter is full
- Fix bugs that players report
- More marketing
Keep the feedback coming and we will keep the updates flowing!
